If the StreamTokenizer method "wordChars()" is used on the
characters '0' - '9', they are still interpreted as digits
by "nextToken()".

Based on the source, the following factors conspire to produce
this problem:
1. The constructor calls "parseNumbers()", creating the default
   "digit" interpretation.
2. The "wordChars()" method OR's the ALPHA property with the
   DIGIT property, instead of simply setting it to ALPHA.
3. The "if" clause that parses digits is executed first. So,
   the DIGIT property of these characters is recognized first,
   and the ALPHA property is ignored.
